DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
The Orphans Bazaar to Wind up To
night-Last Nights Attendance

The Orphans Bazaar to Wind up To-
night-Last Nights Attendance.
The interest in the Orphans Bazaar is I'M
abated still, and the hall which has been
turned into a fairy palace, continues to re-
ceive the throngs which nightly visit it for
the benefit of the ophans. There is some
thing peculiarly seductive about fair, and
the average man who enters within the
door soon feels that influence, though he is
satisfied that it is more than an influence
when he balances his cash next morning
The result is that on the many tables which
are presided over by the charming ladies
who so sweetly ask, won't you take Just
one chance are piled up with little cylin-
ders of bright and shining silver that testify
to pretty woman's power over a mans
pocket.
The history of this fair differs in no wise
from that of its predecessors, and it may be
taken as the true record of all fairs to come.
The buyers were not in so vast a majority
last night as they have been, but still when
the fair cashiers reckoned up their nights
work they had each to call upon two or
three others to help them.
The bazaar will close to night but still the
donations continue 10 pour in. A key of
beer, a cake, q picture and other less re-
freshing or beautiful contributions were
sent i'll yesterday to be added to the congre-
CATION of things purchasable. Several raf-
fes took place last night and several lucky
people are, as n consequence, the happier.
Miss Anna Lilliot won a peasant doll at
the German booth.
The silver egg was thrown for at the
japanese booth, and was won by Mr.. w. r.
Leaken, who now wants. chance in the
goose that laid il. 81
But five chances have been taken on the
Japanese screen, but Mrs. Charlton, who
presides over this booth, is kept busy serv
ing her delicious ten.
Mr. d. b. Hull won pair of shoes at the
American table. They have not been made
yet.
At the same table a silver glove buttoner
was won by Miss Walsh
Tonight the fair will close, d those who
are waiting for bargains will catch them
then. There will probably be an auction.
If any of the fancy goods remain unsold
they will be sent to the Home where de
posltory for such articles will be established.

TOM CASSIDY INDICTED.

The Grand Jury Charges Him With
the Murder of George Smith.
Thomas Cassidy has been indicted for the
murder of George Smith, on Tybee Island,
on July IA last, and the day of his trial has
been fixed. The grand jury of the Superior
Court met at O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
and after considering some cases of minor
Importance, took up the charges against
Cassidy. There were number of witnesses,
but not all of them were examined. 1t did
not require the testimony of them all TO con-
vince the grand jury that there were good
and sufficient reasons for putting Cassidy on
trial for his life. Maggie Terrell was there,
having come up from Jacksonville to be
present. What testimony she gave was a
matter of a good deal of interest to those
who saw her enter and emerge from that
little room that keeps its secrets so well
The results of the proceedings carried on
within its walls are known, however, to the
sorrow of many poor wretches, and so it be-
came known that Cassidy had been charged
by the grand jury with murder The in
dictment contains three counts, first, that
Cassidy murdered Smith with pistol sec
ond, that he did it with some blunt instru-
ment; and third, that he beat kicked and
trampled him to death. If he is convicted
on any one of the three counts, the end of
justice win be served. The day of the trial
was fixed for Tuesday, Jan. II.

In the Way of Holiday Gifts

The individual who could successfully COM
pile a cyclopedie of holiday presents pecu
liarly appropriate to any and every indi-
vidual idea would be a providential bene-
factor to the human race, which annually
puzzles its head over this subject. A SOU
venir should be something of intrinsic value
or merit, as it is an evidence of love, affec-
tipn or esteem, and holiday buyers will find
in our establishment hundreds of fitting
objects and articles and at prices suited to
the scantest or most plethoric purse. We
mention some few articles-our immense
catalogue scarce covering all: Ladies' and
Gents Toilet Sets in oxydized silver, some
thing new; beautiful line of Lemaires
Opera Glasses, God-headed Umbrellas, a
superb line of Ladies' Gold Watches, every
variety and style of Ladies' Jewelry, an ex-
traordnary line of Diamond Jewery,
Chains, Lockets, Lace Pins, Rings, Gents
Gold and Silver Watches, Chains, Charms,
and Rings, Diamond Studs, Collar Buttons,
Sleeve Buttons, etc, exquisite Bronze and
Statuary, royal display of plated and
solid sterling Silverware, Clocks, Vases, Setc
AS the rattle list for the splendid Diamond
Necklace is rapidly filling up, those DESTROYS
of chances, or of inspecting it before it is
disposed of, should call early We can
duplicate New York prices, and nowhere in
this country can there be found a better
selected or more varied stock. Engraving

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
Happenings in South Cardinals Me-
tropOlis City.


Mrs. Sallie F. Chaplin, the indefatigable
Womans Christian Temperance Union
worker, is seriously i'll in Charleston.
The designations of Capt. F. w. Wagner
and First Lieut. James Simons from the
command of the German Artillery, will ne
cessitate a complete change Of the official
staff of that historic corps.
A St Louis lady has written to the
Charleston Survivors Association very
funny and curious letter. She expresses
desire to aid the veterans Of the &. ). A,
her husband being a survivor of the cause.
She wants the association to get up club
of one thousand persons for the purchase OF
a "receipt for keeping eggs fresh during the
hot weather" She says that her offer IS
open to all the Confederate States. Half OF
the proceeds is to revert to herself, as the
discoverer Of the recipe.
The political situation in Charleston is
practically unchanged. The Democrats are
confident that the regular ticket will be
elected while the Independent, United La
Dor and Republican candidates are whist
ling to keep their courage up. They affect
to believe that they are leading a very for
midable bolt, and will probably not be fully
aware of their error of judgment, the NelCS
and Courier says, until after the polls are
closed next Tuesday.
Capt. b. f. Thompson, yardmaster of the
South Carolina railway in Charleston, has
in his possession an old bayonet which is
supposed to have played a prominent part
in the battle Of Gettysburg. 1t is badly
rusted and nearly half eaten away by hav-
ing been long buried in the ground, but is
quite a relic, having come from the battle
field of Gettysburg, where it was turned
up by a plough some time ago, and was
sent to Capt. Thompson by conductor on
the Western and Atlantic railroad.
Grandson Varnish, an ebony -hued darkey
from Savannah, was before Trial Justice
Gleason in Charleston Thursday, for steal
sng $12 worth of clothing from a colored
waitingman The NetCS and Courier de-
scribes Varnish as a nondescript character,
and very peculiar looking individual He
carries himself with all the airs and graces
of Georgia legislator, and has his own pc
culiar way of doing things. He is evidently
a man of the world. According to his own
statement he has Travelled extensively,
